Civil Service Reform.
Special to the Glore.

Spocldl 10 Une GlOCe.
WASHINGTON, March 80. = Secretary
John I. Doyle, of the civil service commits
sion has just returned from tour of tWen-
ty-two days duration. in the service of the
commission. BE went out to conduct ex-
aminations of different cities, under the
new annual system of designating regular
examinations for certain dates at certain
places. This plan was adopted in order to
afford all applicants opportunity to be ex-
amined. Mr.. Doyle said he took special
pains to inquire of postmasters, of boards
of examiners and OF leading citizens with
whom he came in contact as to the progress
of reform sentiment in the West.
Il am satisfied he remarked. THAT the
sentiment has not made any such advances as
it has in the East In New York and Massa.
chusetts state civil service boards and rules
have been in operation for several years, and
the people have clearer comprehension of
the purposes sought to be attained than eX
ist in the West. But there is a growing reform
sentiment in the West. In several of the
Western cities civil service reform associa-
tions have been organized and they are doing
good work, and in several of the Western
states efforts are being made to establish state
boards under regular statutes. As I was
never in the West before l am not able to
make any comparison that would indicate
the growth of reform sentiment, but 1 was
informed by postmasters and others who
have had ample opportunity for observation
that they could see an appreciable growth of
this sentiment

The Postal service.

WASHINGTON, March 29-The post
master general has issued the following cir
cular. addressed to division superintendents
and inspectors and other officials and en-
ployes of the railway service:
The attention of the department has been
invited by the officers of many railroad COM
panies to the interstate commerce act, with
inquiry how far those provisions which they
deemed restrictions of free travel effect per-
sons or employees of the postal service. The
correspondence has almost universally con-
tanned expressions of Willingness to continue
the facilities heretofore afforded, unless such
course be in controvention of law. In order
to secure satisfactory exposition of this
point the opinion of the attorney general
was solicited whether there be anything in
the act which prohibits the practices hereto
fore prevailing. The attorney generals opin-
ion is that the interstate law does not affect
the postal service, but is in regulation of
commerce OHly.

WASHINGTON, March 29.-The president
is still undecided as to the appointment of q
successor to Treasurer Jordan, whose resig-
nation was accepted, to take effect the lst
of April. 1887. The office is one that is
very hard to fill, on account of the large
bond required and the comparatively small
salary. There is so little chance for man
to make reputation in the office that few
men who would be acceptable to the presi-
dent could be induced to accept it. The
president has made up his mind to appoint
a man not now in the service, and a West
ern man, if one to suit can be found. The
salary of this position is S6. 900 per annum,
and the incumbent is required to give bond
of 500. 1000,

which John Arensdorf was not connected
by his presence. Up to this date this OBJ
lection has been sustained by the court, but
the state had now reached a point, as they
contend, where a conspiracy out of which
came the murder had been fully established,
and that all matters hereafter relative to
that conspiracy, whether Arensdorf was
present at the inception or not, should be
